TAKE A BREAK FROM DUBSTEP FOR YOUR DAILY DOSE OF FUNK

The Charlotte Sessions stuck around the Amazonia stage to catch an Atlanta native known by the name Daily Bread do his funkadelic thang live. We heard great comments about his set at this year’s Conterpoint Music Festival;

so there was no doubt we knew what we had to do on that cloudy Sunday afternoon in ATL. Daily Bread is Rhett Whatley, and he had one mission and goal in mind when he stepped on that stage, to show the good people at Imagine Music Festival an unforgettably great time. I deeply respect any DJ who brings live instruments on board during their set, and Daily Bread was no exception. His buddy EJ handled the drums for the movin’ and groovin’ 50 minute jam session provided by the soulful Atlanta DJ.

We had a chance to speak with Rhett after his set and ask him a few questions about his new musical experience:

The Charlotte Sessions: Hey Daily Bread, Great Set, Did We Just Hear You Spin Some Gorillaz For Everyone?

Daily Bread: Yeah, The Gorillaz Are One Of My Favorite Bands, I Really Like Their Track Tomorrow Comes Today.

TCS: What Did You Think About Your First Imagine Music Festival Experience?

DB: It Was A Lot Of Fun, It Just Felt Great Seeing Everyone Out There Dancing And Having A Good Time.

TCS: What Part Of Atlanta Are You From?

DB: Zone 6! (More Below)

TCS: That Was A Funky Show That You Just Put On, It Reminded Us, Slightly, Of Artists Like Pretty Lights and Archnemesis, How Would You Classify Your Music?

DB: Easy, East Coast Electro-Soul.

TCS: We Love It! And How Long Have You Been Going At It?

DB: Well Eric And I Have Only Been Playing Live Shows Since Last Fall, So About 9 Months.

TCS: That’s Awesome. Where’s Your Favorite Place To Grab A meal In Atlanta?

DB: It Definitely, 100 Percent Has To Be The Hodge Podge.
